Scissor jack/stabilize
I have a rockwood 1905, the scissor jacks do not keep trailer from back and forth motion very well. Would upgrading to a heavier duty model work better? I hate getting out the old school stabilizer jacks. I like camping light.
Thanks

The stock Jack's are not real good, real flimsy. I have electric jack for main front. $300 will make me rock solid

Do I have to store parts? I like the JT, seems I just loosen knob and everything rides with camper. I'm not into storing more "stuff". Built in stabilizers gets rid of stabilizer jacks
Thanks

To help my prevent my single axle trailer from excessive front to back motion, I purchased a BAL single axle tire locking chock. I find it does a nice job and it does not take up a lot of space.
If you purchase one, make sure your wheel will fit as it will only open up to a maximum of 15 inches (as seen in the photo).
